KPSS Score Calculator - P1, P2, P3, P93 and P94 Estimates from Nets
Estimate your KPSS score

| General culture / 60 | 40 | 60.91 |
Exam statistics used (mean and standard deviation of nets)
Estimate. ÖSYM converts nets to standard scores with the mean and standard deviation of all candidates at that level, then applies 70 + 30·[2(AP − X) − S] / [2(B − X) − S], where AP is your weighted score, X its mean (50 by construction), S its standard deviation and B the highest AP. X and S above are editable; B is taken from a full-net candidate. Net = correct minus a quarter of wrong. Parameter set: 2026
How KPSS is scored
KPSS, the Public Personnel Selection Exam, has a general ability test and a general culture test of 60 questions each at every level. Four wrong answers cancel one correct answer. ÖSYM converts each test's net into a standard score with a mean of 50 and a standard deviation of 10, combines the two with the weights of each score type, and converts the weighted score to 100 points with the formula in the guide, 70 + 30·[2(AP − X) − S] / [2(B − X) − S]. For the bachelor's level the common types are P1 with 70 percent ability, P2 with 60 percent and P3 with 50 percent; the associate level reports P93 and the high-school level P94, both equal-weighted. This tool reproduces the chain with typical exam statistics.
Steps
- 1 Pick your level. The statistics panel switches to that level's typical mean and standard deviation.
- 2 Enter correct and wrong answers for both tests; nets, standard scores and the score types update immediately.
- 3 If ÖSYM has published the statistics of your sitting, enter them to tighten the estimate.
Score types and what uses them
P3 is the score used for most B-group appointments of bachelor's graduates and is the basis for teacher candidates' P121. P1 and P2 weight general ability more and appear in some institutional exams and A-group requirements. Associate-degree candidates are ranked on P93 and high-school graduates on P94, each an equal mix of the two tests.
Why the same net gives different scores
A net of 45 in general ability is far above the typical average of about 26, so it earns a standard score well over 60; the same net in a harder sitting with a lower average scores even higher. Because the conversion depends on how everyone else did, no fixed net-to-score table exists, and the official score can differ from any estimate by a few points.
Typical thresholds
Appointment is by ranking, not by a fixed threshold: candidates list preferences and the lowest placed score for each position becomes that year's cut-off. For popular bachelor's-level positions cut-offs have been in the high 80s to 90s, while many associate and high-school positions fill in the 70s and 80s. Treat the estimate as a planning number and compare with last year's published placement scores.
Limits of this estimate
The mean and standard deviation are typical values rather than those of your sitting, and the S and B in ÖSYM's formula are only known after results, so the official score can differ by a few points. Use the tool for practice tests and targets; the official ÖSYM result is the only authoritative score.
